This may be old news but I've never seen anything on it. While working on my windshield washers I decided to vacuum out the area beneath the cowling between the hood and windshield. I'm still removing leaves. I used the vac and thought I had all of them but then I blew air in there on both sides and you should have seen the leaves that came out of there. I mean a LOT of leaves. Its a rust job waiting to happen. I live in an oak forrest and the small leaves just filled the corners of the cowl area. I'm going to make a screen for the cowl area. Just a word to the wise, better check this area out to prevent some rust damage.
